The News That Matters about the Nuclear Industry

But what is good will? How is it shown? The answer is in respect for one another. Respect means listening to the other’s point of view, and clearly saying your own point of view. It means discussion, argument – communication. It can be difficult and time consuming. It often seems easier to just hit someone, show them who’s boss, as we have seen in countless Hollywood films – where might is right.

Communication is the alternative to war – and people use communication to get along, and resolve differences – at home, in the community, the region – and nationally and internationally.

The world is pretty much at the crossroads now. Some Israeli and USA politicians threaten military strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Iran threatens retaliation. North Korea continues to be a nuclear weapons worry and China, India, USA, Russia, UK ramp up their nuclear weapons. Threats, decisions for violent action – it all seems simpler quicker, easier – easier than communication, negotiation.

All this goes on accompanied by a lot of doublespeak – “weapons for security” weapons for peace” – when it is becoming more apparent that there will be no winners in a nuclear conflict.

The entire world would be the loser – even in a “limited” nuclear conflict – as for example, between India and Pakistan. For one thing Climate Change would be instant – as nuclear explosions’ clouds would cut out the sulight for a long time.

But the entire world is the loser now, as with depleted uranium weapons used in Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Bosnia – spread their cancerous dust around the world.

Harvey Wassermann has warned USA, (and other countries) about the “warfare state” – in which the production of weapons is seen as an economic plus.

While people worldwide want peace, and especially, an end to nuclear weapons, governments seem quite unable and unwilling to act effectively towards nuclear disarmament, and the spread of nuclear weapons.

Non government peace movements have a long and noble history, and their work is now more critical than ever. Now, they are becoming more organised, and governments can no longer ignore their voices.

We aim to…

Change Government policies to bring about the elimination of British nuclear weapons as a major contribution to global abolition.

Stimulate wide public debate on the need for alternatives both to the nuclear cycle and to military attempts to resolve conflict.

Empower people to engage actively in the political process and to work for a nuclear-free and peaceful future.

Co-operate with other groups in the UK and internationally to ensure the development of greater mutual security

As a British campaign, we concentrate first and foremost on British nuclear weapons but we also work with anti-nuclear groups in other countries to eliminate the global threat. CND is also present at the United Nations and other international disarmament conferences.

CND is funded entirely by its members and supporters. You can help by supporting CND. Join us today
